No, No No. Just have your stock seat shaped. You can do it for $225. www.bitchnstitchninc.com or mean city cycles. They will shave the sides to bring your legs together and shave your seat down 2 inches. I am almost to low now.lol. This will save you tons of cash. I know people 5'4 and it worked great foir them.

RE: to buy...or not to buy
Hi, I put a set of the progressive 440-4006b on my 07 sg they are 11.5 eye to eye, and sent my seat to Allen at Mean city cycles and they reworked my seat, I went from toeing it at stop lights to flat footed, I'm 5'8 with a 29" inseam, But I have had 2 back surgeries and have little strength in my left leg, I am thinking about the Arnott system also but the progressives were cheaper. Just my. 02 \\; \\; \\; T

Okay, do everything SGChick said and you should be fine.
 \\;
and the best thing is:
You get to use a shorter windshiled than the rest of us
and \\;when you can get a short Clearview windshield with recurve, \\;
you will get to keep that Sporty Street Glide look like SGChick has.
 \\;
and I'd recomend just redoing the seat instead of buying one.

RE: to buy...or not to buy
Thanks everyone for the replies. I figured the answers would be shorter...just kidding. All the information was great. I did some checking and my current ride's seat height is the same as the SG (I thought it was lower...could be the difference in the seat). Looks like the old ride will be going down the road without me. Thanks again.
